- SMALL POX SCARE: Our neighboring city, Centralia, is having some excitement about what they believe is small pox. A man by the name of Chas. Crow is down sick at Manker’s Hotel there and they are quite confident he has small pox. It is hoped that such is not the case, for if it is, many others will be placed in a very dangerous condition, as it is said he was around after town after being broken out.
- Dr. Howe, the noted small pox doctor of Atchison, came out to Centralia last Saturday and investigated the Chas. Crow case at that place. He pronounced it a light form of varioloid. This is a particular form of small pox and is said to be contagious. There will probably be other cases, but Dr. Howe said they would not develop until about ten days from time of exposure. The city council at Centralia has taken every precaution to prevent spread of the disease. The hotel in which Chas. Crow was taken sick in was being operated by Charley Manker. The city paid him $150 to close the building for ten days.
